Third Sunday after Pentecost - June 13, 2021 10:30 am
                                                              Reversals.
                                   So much from our readings today reverse what we
                                   think “should be”.
                                    From an impressive cedar a tender sprig is broken
                                       off and planted, and the high tree is brought low.
                                    An old person (connected with God) will bear
                                       fruit in their old age.
                                    Paul reminds us that we walk by faith, not by
                                       sight (incredible necessity for trust!) and…
                                       everything thing old has died – AND everything
                                       has become new!
                                    Seeds simply sprout and grow, then are harvested.
                                    The smallest of seeds eventually becomes a
                                       comfortable home for many.

What do these things say about God’s plans and actions for your life?

 Covid safety protocols in place. You will be required to register, by emailing or calling the office,
 for in-person worship. This is also Confirmation Sunday so priority will be given to these families
  up to the Council approved capacity. You are welcome to join us for worship either in-person or
           continuing virtually from your own home. See the June Messiah Messenger for
